Gregory's Story

Life Since graduating from Millard North, here is an outline of my life: August 1991-April 1992 Attended Ricks College in Rexburg, ID. Majored in Physics (Fall) but changed to Vocal Music (Winter). April 1992 - May 1993 Lived at home, working, preparing for my Mormon mission. May 1993 - July 1993 Started my Mormon mission at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT. July 1993 - June 1995 Served my Mormon mission in the Frankfurt, Germany mission, and ended it with a family trip to Austria. August 1995 - December 1995 Attended University of Nebraska - Omaha as a Vocal Music Major. Jan 1996 - August 1996 Living with parents, working, discovering the Internet. August 1996 - December 1996 Moved to Provo, UT, living in off-campus BYU student housing. Just had to get away from family for a while. Worked in Orem, UT. Jan 1997 - July 1998 Back living with family. Tried to get a computer consulting business off the ground with my brothers and dad. Didn't work out... ended up working at Metropolitan Community College in their IT department. Mar 1998 - June 1998 Met my future wife, Valerie, online. Chatted with her via Internet and phone until I met her at her Salt Lake City apartment in June. She drove back with me to Omaha, and stayed with us for several weeks before finding an apartment of her own. August 9, 1998 Valerie and I "elope", and get married by our Mormon bishop. I move into her apartment in Ralston, NE. August, 1999 I quit from MCC, and begin working at CompUSA, fixing computers, but I hate the job. Oct, 1999 - Feb 2000 Valerie and I move in with her parents in Stevens Point, WI, but they are planning a move to St. Paul, MN, so we look for work in the Twin Cities. Feb 2000 - Sep 2000 Valerie and I move to South St. Paul. I work at a Customer Service call center for Airborne Express. July 8, 2000 Valerie and I get "sealed" in the Mormon temple in St. Paul. Sep 20...Expand for more
00 - Dec 2000 I move to Los Angeles to work at a job I found through an Internet friend, Lee W. It is contract-to-perm, so we don't move our household there, until I was offered the permanent job. Jan 2001 - May 2002 Valerie and I move to Lawndale, CA, while I work for Berlitz GlobalNET as a localization engineer. June 2002 - Sep 2006 Valerie and I struggle with different jobs, health issues, and relationship issues for the next 4+ years. I stop attending the LDS Church during this time, and start studying Wicca with a teacher in Long Beach, CA. Oct 2006 Valerie and I separate. She moves to St. Paul, while I move to Grass Valley/Nevada City, CA, following my Wicca teacher and her family. (With my marriage ending, and not liking life in L.A., this change of venue was a good choice). Oct 2006 - May 2007 Worked at Milhous Children's Services at their "Boys Ranch", a residential treatment facility for severely emotionally disturbed adolescent boys. I enjoyed working with the boys, but disliked the company drama. May 2007 - Oct 2007 Started work as a CNA trainee at Golden Empire Convalescent Hospital. I enjoy helping people as my work, but find working in a skilled nursing facility to be extremely stressful and draining. During this time, I am initiated into Wicca. Nov 2007 - Sep 2008 I am unemployed during this time, but I invest in a 9 month training program to become a "shamanic soul coach". I also receive training in "Non-Violent Communication". I also re-initiate with a new Wiccan coven. Oct 2008 I am hired to be an account manager at a computer services company in Reno, NV, so I make the move over the hill. Nov 2008 I am laid off from my new job, but I decide to stay in Reno and start my new businesses as a Shamanic Soul Coach and Compassionate Communication Educator. Jan 2009 I start teaching a class, "Introduction to Wicca", and I am reminded how much I enjoy teaching.
